Hotel Pompino 8

In Linz, the original idea of accommodating Hotel Pompino in a container city was rejected by the producers as unfeasible due to budgetary constraints. Instead, the O.K—Offenes Kulturhaus—then still under construction—was chosen as the broadcast and production location. A group of about 90 people then gathered in Linz to start work on the first Reality TV Show. The entire technical infrastructure was set up in the O.K gym: director's console, bluebox as virtual stage, and the set consisting of various backdrops (surreal hotel room furnishings) as reality stage. Hotel Pompino's TV format was the first of its kind anywhere in the world: 4 independent screen levels with individually scalable windows, 100% live performance, virtual set technology controllable from the bluebox by means of camera tracking that brought in the corresponding digital spaces.
